The How and Why of Interactive Markov Chains
This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...

A framework for performance evaluation and functional verification in stochastic process algebras
Despite its relatively short history, a wealth of formalisms exist for algebraic specification of stochastic systems. The goal of this paper is to give such formalisms a unifying ...

Process algebra for performance evaluation
This paper surveys the theoretical developments in the field of stochastic process algebras, process algebras where action occurrences may be subject to a delay that is determined...

How Synchronisation Strategy Approximation in PEPA Implementations Affects Passage Time Performance Results
Passage time densities are useful performance measurements in stochastic systems. With them the modeller can extract probabilistic quality-of-service guarantees such as: the proba...

A Matrix-based Method for Analysing Stochastic Process Algebras
This paper demonstrates how three stochastic process algebras can be mapped on to a generally-distributed stochastic transition system. We demonstrate an aggregation technique on ...

Process Algebras for Quantitative Analysis
In the 1980s process algebras became widely accepted formalisms for describing and analysing concurrency. Extensions of the formalisms, incorporating some aspects of systems which...

Formalisms for Specifying Markovian Population Models
Abstract. We compare several languages for specifying Markovian population models such as queuing networks and chemical reaction networks. These languages —matrix descriptions, s...
